Famed Environmental Attorney Jim Blackburn 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 30, Rothko Chapel
Event Description:
Jim Blackburn on the Environment
A Spiritual Quest: Enough? Enough!
Tuesday, September 30
7:00 p.m.
With climate change promising massive ecological disruptions, pioneer environmental attorney Jim Blackburn will offer observations about living things, our connectedness to them and our need to take effective action soon. Fundamental to this discourse is the concept of ENOUGH, a theme that will be woven through the presentation. Blackburn will introduce the concept of CONNECTUALITY and its power to transform our thinking, perception and will to act. Is some form of environmental triage our destiny or can we find the will to take action to combine economic and ecologic visions and recover our lost spirituality? Blackburn’s presentation of “A Spiritual Quest” will address these issues and more.
An attorney specializing in environmental law at Blackburn Carter Law Firm in Houston, Blackburn also holds the position of Professor of the Practice in Environmental Law at Rice University. He has received the National Wildlife Federation's National Conservation Achievement Award and the Bob Eckhardt Coastal Lifetime Achievement Award from the General Land Office of the State of Texas.
